Not so Swift LRC 2018

                                          NOT SO SEXY

Taylor Swift is screened on CNN dancing in a stilted non rythmatic manner that re-enforces the prejudice that white men cannot dance. Is there a counter balancing expression "but white women can dance"? 

    I would say from the look on this woman's face that she does not really enjoy dancing.                         

The stiff uncomfortable posturing by Swift in a blue dress (significant?) at the lege accomplished by the running around on stage and sticking the head at the audience which I have always been critical of. The United States House of Representatives or The Senate is the scene of the video. 

The vocal and band recordings are the usual Taylor Swift Pap, yes it makes a lot of money but I still think it is lame, lame, lame.

THAT IS NOT THE WORST PART OF THE VIDEO WHICH IS THE VULGAR WEAK CLUMSY DANCING WHERE TAYLOR SPREADS HER LEGS WIDE AND DOES SPASTIC PELVIC THRUSTS. TAYLOR SWIFT IS NOT THE ONLY PRACTICIONER OF THE MORE OBSCENE THAN SENSUAL CHOREOGRAPHY I THINK SHE THINKS IT IS SEXY.  

LIVE ROCK CRITIC 2018 # 61 KANYE WEST ON SNL

I returned to Saturday Night Live to view Kanye West's performance at length.

                                                                                 

                                         

I VIEWED THE PERFORMANCES PREVIOUSLY AND I WAS CONFUSED BY THE DRINK BOTTLE VIDEO WHICH DOES GROW ON YOU AS YOU STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND .
( Post script) Just now I got the hint that this is a political pro Trump statement characterized as a rant?!?

DO NOT UNDERSTAND BUT VIEW AND ENJOY WHATEVER THE KINKY GIRL REPRESENTED ON THE HUGE SCREEN BEHIND KANYE AND HIS SIDEMAN. I WILL HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN AT LEAST ONCE MORE CONCENTRATING ON GIANT KINKY GIRL TO SEE IF I CAN FIGURE OUT A THEME OR PLOT OR NOT, RIGHT, IT COULD BE A MEANINGLESS EXPRESSION OF A SINGLE THOUGHT AT LENGTH..........

The dancing girl video is great video better shaking of the boobs than Marilyn Monroe. The music is sparse and weak and totally pre recorded including some vocals but I do not really care to figure out what and where. The translucently vested dancing girl from dreams of perfection one wished one had is so beautiful and moves so well I wonder what Kardashian Family Frictions will arise. 

The first time I viewed the SNL episode I missed the ensemble finale where Kanye West sang really well. Kanye either directed and choreographed or accepted direction perfectly executed check some of the dance moves at the beginning of the Kinky Girl Drink Bottle Song and Dance. 

The Saturday Night Live Band played some unusual Funk and some of the ensemble players sang in perfect pitch and connotative voice modulation. Some of the skits                            were really funny again, where a few years                                  back I found the formula skits boring.

                                                                      

                                                                     

LIVE ROCK, WHY?

LIVE ROCK CRITIC 2018                                                                                                       I did critically view Kanye West on Saturday Night Live Saturday.       I do not quite know what to think about the Drink Bottle Dance and musical performance. I may have gotten a skit although I thought it was Kanye. I have it recorded on DVR and I will view it again. The second number I thought was weak. He uttered some form of atrocity about slavery after he performed. 

I was considering what I would say motivated me to attempt to perform and to compose and to be able to produce popular music. I think I might have been motivated by my desire to propagate my thoughts and discoveries and political and social theories as one would write in a newspaper or in novels or non-fiction books, at one time nearly the only way that this was possible. Movies were a step above books because they could penetrate a greater audience and boldly present their vision.

Records of the type which might affect a wide audience became influential and Live Performance was possibly the extension of records into a realism and power which even movies have only recently attained. I became aware that the most effective attainable medium would be Live Performance. That was at a time decades ago when Live Performance was both commonplace in bars, dance clubs, dances and even at parties and Surreal, Otherworldly, and Mindblowing at the most excellent public performances in theaters, stadiums and at outdoor concerts.

I thought about how to communicate original thoughts discoveries and theories and how to blow them up huge as cartoons and performances of my observations, commentary and didaction. I had also been pursing material to write about in the past, musical circles seemed to be a likely source. I could thus play some harmonica, I began to really practice harmonica again and I danced and rollerbladed to be as fit and rhythmic as possible. I did the practice blitz more than once in the past using exclusively Hohner Diatonic Harmonicas. I thought that if I joined a successful band I could make a living and vigorously pursue the proliferation of my ideas and discoveries. 

Reduced to posting on the inter net hoping to get noticed. Vote the video above does proliferate a number of ideas.

I found this live performance in my Video files
